  1. Terrible new layout

    Stop changing the design to inflate the ego of your design team. The design you guys have had for years has been clean functional and pleasant to use. The new one is gaudy, bubbly, and requires more input from the user to recover some of the lost functionality.
    Its an email service, I dont like having to customize the page just to return to what works better.
    If you must continue to change the email home page, then at least leave the option to return to the old layout.

  2. BRING BACK BACKGROUND COLOR CHOICES ASIDE FRON BLACK & WHITE

    Would be nice to bring back color choices for background on Yahoo Mail as it was offered in the past. Choices could be colors that are easy on the eyes and not as harsh as present offerings of black or white.

  3. Make body of emails larger

    Please make it so I can see more than 2 lines of my emails. Too much above the body of the email to actually read it comfortably.

  4. text too small compared to the giant headlines

    The headlines are too huge! they take up too much of the page. The text of the email is too small to read. I can't make the text larger because the huge font of the headlines just gets bigger.

    The old style was much more readable. I want to read my emails not just the headlines.

  5. use contacts email in new message

    Would be nice to be able use contacts. What is the point of having contact if I have to manually type in their email address in "To:" field. Can't click on contacts email address anymore, for a while now, to show in new messages "TO:" field??

  7. Add support for the Palemoon browser

    I use Palemoon as my browser of choice and I'm not switching away from that, but your site is not recognising it and is telling me to "update" (downgrade) to Firefox, Chrome or Edge. Absolutely not. If I cannot use Yahoo Mail with my normal browser any more, then I'm sorry to say I'll have to abandon the site after 25 years.

  8. Allow for the option to reduce/ remove right side panel with starred/calendar/contacts

    The new right side panel is proportionally too big compared to the message viewing window, making for a very disagreeable experience especially on a laptop, so much so that I am thinking about changing to another email provider. This would be a shame given that I have had this account for more than 25 years.

  11. Calendar new layout

    I don't like the new Calendar at all. I have been using the Calendar for more than 20 years. The new layout is NOT a approvment. I seriously thinking about stop using Yahoo Calendar and perhaps Mail as well, I could accept pay for the new Mail BUT the new Calendar is more difficult to accept.
    I wish you could go back to the old layout.
    Thank you

  12. Bring back the inbox divisions!

    Bring back the inbox divisions!
    Previously, the inbox was perfectly organized: today’s emails were separated from those of the previous day, from those of earlier days, and from older emails (grouped by year).
    Now, even though my inbox is tidy and contains only a couple of dozen emails, it looks like an endless, disorganized stream of messages.
    It wouldn’t take much to reintroduce those time-based divisions—surely any developer could easily implement that in the email interface.
    Please!!

  13. New @yahoo.com.cn accounts cannot receive any emails – MX record is null

    I recently registered a new Yahoo Mail account with the domain @yahoo.com.cn (example: xxxxx@yahoo.com.cn).

    I can log in to the web interface normally and access the mailbox, but the inbox remains completely empty. No emails from any external sender ever arrive (including test emails sent from Gmail, Outlook, etc.).

    Technical observation:
    - DNS lookup for yahoo.com.cn shows a null MX record (MX 0 .).
    - This means the domain is currently not configured to accept incoming mail at all.
    - In contrast, yahoo.com has proper MX records pointing to Yahoo’s mail servers.

    Background:
    yahoo.com.cn was historically used for Yahoo…

  15. You can Improve it greatly by changing it back to how it used to be.

    i hate it. genuinely. if i could easily leave yahoo as a service altogether i would have left the last time these changes were forced upon your users. i wish i had more terrible things to say here about the changes but i cant stand wasting anymore of my day on this. this is at least the second time an entire UI redesign has been forced upon your users and i'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of your users didnt want or care for those changes in the first place.

  18. Make CC visible by default

    Need cc: visible by default, zero clicks to access it, just type whatever email addresses you want cc'd. It's something we all use many times a day, it shouldn't require any extra clicks at all.
